Timothy C. Guetterman, PhD, is an interdisciplinary, applied research methodologist specialized in mixed methods research. His methodological interest is to advance rigorous methods of quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods research, particularly strategies for integrating and intersecting qualitative and quantitative research and the use of software and AI in research. His health services research investigates health informatics as a tool to improve health services and communication with a particular focus on equity and environmental health. His educational research focuses on research capacity building and assessment. Tim’s research is funded by foundations and the U.S. National Institutes of Health. As a team scientist, he works across disciplines providing expertise in mixed methods methodology. He recently co-authored the seventh edition of Educational Research: Planning, Conducting, and Evaluating Quantitative and Qualitative Research, with John W. Creswell, adjunct professor. The textbook is available now from Pearson. He is Co-Editor in Chief for the Journal of Mixed Methods Research and President of the Mixed Methods International Research Association.
